Chrysina guaymi (Curoe, 2001)

Plusiotis guaymi Curoe, 2001: 46-49 [original combination].

Chrysina guaymi (Curoe) [comb. n.].

Distribution.

PANAMA: Chiriquí ( Curoe 2001; Thomas et al. 2009).

Types.

1 ♂ holotype and 1 ♀ allotype at MIUP ( Curoe 2001); paratypes at STRI, MNCR, and MXAL ( Curoe 2001).

Remarks.

The genus Plusiotis was synonymized with Chrysina in 2001 ( Hawks 2001), the same year that Curoe described a new species from Panama ( Curoe 2001). In Hawks’ (2006) online "Checklist of Chrysina species", Plusiotis guaymi Curoe is listed as the new combination Chrysina guaymi . Because the online checklist is not considered to be formally published for nomenclatural purposes, we formalize this new combination herein.
